A proposal to extend the legal closing hours for nightlife venues in tourist areas from 2 AM to 4 AM has been rescheduled for consideration by the Cabinet, as more areas have requested the extension, according to Minister of Tourism and Sports Pipat Ratchakitprakarn. The minister said the proposal, which was originally supposed to be considered by the Cabinet tomorrow, November 15th, has been put off to November 29th because more areas such as Songkhla and Kanchanaburi provinces also want the legal closing hour extensions. The eight original pilot areas include Phuket, Krabi, Phang Nga, Samui, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Chiang Mai, and Bangkok. Minister Pipat stated he needs to consider the areas that requested the extension later too, thus the proposal will not enter the Cabinet’s deliberation until at least November 29th.

The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) approved only 600 million baht for the ministry to finance the purchase of airing rights for the World Cup matches, while Fifa has set the price at 1.6 billion baht. Subsequently, this left the ministry chaired by Minister Pipat Ratchakitprakarn with few options, and according to recent reports, the Authority of Tourism and Sports of Thailand (SAT) is negotiating with Fifa to drop the price tag on its broadcasting rights for the 2022 World Cup matches.

Senate approves Finance Ministry’s guarantee Oil Fuel Fund’s debt The Thai Senate gave the go ahead today (Monday) for the Finance Ministry to guarantee the 130 billion baht debt incurred by the Office of Oil Fuel Fund, as a result of the government’s policy of subsidising the price of cooking gas during COVID-19 pandemic.

The Thai Senate gave the go ahead today (Monday) for the Finance Ministry to guarantee the 130 billion baht debt incurred by the Office of Oil Fuel Fund, as a result of the government’s policy of subsidising the price of cooking gas during COVID-19 pandemic. Before the pandemic, the Office of Oil Fuel Fund had a reserve of 36 billion baht, which was used for the subsidy. The pandemic dragged on for about three years, however, while the global prices of imported cooking gas and oil increased steadily, resulting in the Fund running up a huge loss, with its reserve fund depleted and having to borrow more. Senators debated this issue today before agreeing, by a majority, to endorse the Finance Ministry’s plan to guarantee the Fund’s debt.

Lawyer Francis Jardeleza quashed the nine-dash line being declared by China, saying it does not exist, in an interview during the first episode of “The Way Forward (TWF)” on CNN Philippines recently. AMTI MANILA, Philippines — A retired Supreme Court associate justice has cited the importance of the arbitral award and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in enabling the country to harness all its rich natural resources for the “blue economy.” Lawyer Francis Jardeleza quashed the nine-dash line being declared by China, saying it does not exist, in an interview during the first episode of “The Way Forward (TWF)” on CNN Philippines recently. “The EEZ is the economic zone. It was agreed upon by the countries that first met to form the treaty that is now the UNCLOS. The EEZ is an invention of the UNCLOS. So they say, we give each country 200 nautical miles from the outer parts to make it simple,” Jardeleza explained.

FILE - An alleged drug dealer is handcuffed after a drug buy bust operation conducted by policemen where they caught this 18 year old boy selling marijuana in Manila on May 12, 2018. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs has left nearly 4,000 drug suspects dead and seen human rights groups claim he was responsible for a crime against humanity. The anti-drugs campaign enjoys popular support while the fiery-tongued Duterte has rejected any criticism of his human rights record. AFP / Noel Celis MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police said Monday that close to 50 suspects have been killed in anti-drug operations five months into President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s term. The disclosure comes amid an announcement by the government that the "war on drugs" would focus more on preventing drug use and the rehabilitation of drug dependents. It also comes after Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri played down deaths in the anti-narcotics campaign as an old issue. Police Gen. Rodolfo Azurin, PNP chief, said in a forum organized by the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines on Monday that 32 have died in PNP operations while 14 others were killed by agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.

What’s in an icon? As part of Thailand NOW’s mission to share authentic insights into all things Thai, we’re spotlighting iconic individuals who have not only excelled in their respective areas, but influenced the complex tapestry of Thailand as it exists today and, in doing so, inspire us to be a part of the fabric of Thai society. In this Icon NOW interview, Bangkok-based filmmaker Komtouch Napattaloong opened up about his personal connection to his documentaries on statelessness and migration and his excitement seeing unique local stories getting streamed worldwide. Komtouch Napattaloong is a Bangkok-based filmmaker with an interest in themes of statelessness. Source: Komtouch Napattaloong Does your identity create a sense of belonging or displacement? It’s a question with few easy answers for Bangkok-based filmmaker Komtouch Napattaloong. Born in Thailand, Komtouch often traveled with his family back and forth to the United States. In a multicultural upbringing, his only constant was films. It seemed natural that he would be drawn to filmmaking, where he would explore ideas close to home. “The confusion about identity, the space in-between—how one’s identity can be so restricting, so all-encompassing, particularly for those of us in Thailand […] that led me to be interested in what it looks like for others,” he explains. “I was very excited to be back and be a part of the Thai filmmaking community.” After having spent well over a decade in the United States, Komtouch decided to make his first documentary film in his homeland. The Thai film scene he found himself in after coming back was in full swing. “I was very excited to be back and be a part of the Thai filmmaking community,” he says. Southeast Asia has a booming film market and art scene that nurtures a close-knit community of artists. This made it possible for Komtouch to connect with fellow documentarian Nontawat Numbenchaphol, who was doing research on the Shan State Army and the refugee camp for the Shan living in the north. “Soil Without Land” follows a Shan man navigating the loss of his family and joining the Shan State Army. Source: Komtouch Napattaloong “I realized we are interested in the same things: of being stuck in between the fringes of mainstream society,” he explains. They went on to collaborate on the documentary “Soil Without Land,” which follows Sang Lod as he navigates the loss of his family and life after joining the Shan State Army to fight for the liberation of the Shan people. The film premiered at Visions du Réel in 2019 and won the Special Jury Prize at the Taiwan International Documentary Festival in 2021. “What happens when people don’t fall into the definition of one or the other?” In his upcoming feature-length documentary “Hours of Ours,” which tells a story of a Sudanese family who found themselves stranded in Thailand for the last six years, Komtouch investigates asylum seeking in Thailand. Reflecting on the themes of his new film, Komtouch says, “I find certain experiences that they go through to remind me of those experiences of belonging and not belonging or always arriving and never staying. Ready to leave, not sure when. That kind of experience reminded me of my own.” “Hours of Ours” is a feature-length documentary that depicts the trials and tribulations of a Sudanese family stranded in Thailand. Source: Komtouch Napattaloong The filmmaker’s path through the thriving Thai film scene has become a personal journey to understand his roots. “I’ve set myself on a journey to try to define what Thainess is—look for what the boundaries and the perimeters of Thainess is but, at the same time, to try to reimagine what it could be,” says Komtouch. “There are so many people that fall in between. What happens when people don’t fall into the definition of one or the other?” Despite beginning his creative journey in the U.S. with his thesis film “Motherland,” and expanding his horizons with Abbas Kariostami’s workshop in Cuba, Komtouch found his homeland to be where he is most propelled to weave in stories from different periods of his life. “In Thailand, there’s a kid that could be the next Mozart or Frida Kahlo.” Despite the thriving film scene in Thailand, COVID-19 has exacted a heavy toll. Komtouch served as Lab Manager for the Southeast Asia Fiction Film Lab (SEAFIC), the first-ever non-profit script lab in the region. However, loss of funding related to the pandemic and restrictions on in-person meetings had forced its closure in early 2022. SEAFIC aimed to advance, strengthen, and refine the quality of feature-length scripts and projects by talented filmmakers from the Southeast Asian region. Source: Komtouch Napattaloong Komtouch believes that the future of Thai films requires a lasting, tangible, and sustainable infrastructure that provides long-term support to artists, filmmakers, craftsmen, and actors. “In Thailand, there’s a kid that could be the next Mozart or Frida Kahlo. What mechanisms are out there to make sure that this kid, this artist, can be that person from Thailand?” “…a story that comes from local talent is also globally accessible.” According to Komtouch, his friend and filmmaker Raymond Phathanavirangoon would often say that “the tide was rising” for the Southeast Asian film scene. Raymond had a point. It was only last year that Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for fantasy drama “Memoria” starring Tilda Swinton. Not to mention, the recent influx of streaming giants into the region has been a testament to the global demand for Southeast Asian narratives. “Netflix is here in Thailand,” says Komtouch, “Amazon is here, Disney is here […] they’re looking for Southeast Asian content, they’re looking for Thai content, they’re looking for films for their platform—a story that comes from local talent is also globally accessible.” Even as other filmmakers gripe about the growing dominance of bloated franchises, Komtouch asserts that the film market isn’t monolithic. “There will always be a market for whatever film you make. You just have to find it,” says Komtouch. “We have unique stories, we have unique histories, we have unique perspectives here in Southeast Asia, and I think it’s something that the world is excited to see.” Source: https://www.thailandnow.in.th/arts-culture/icon-now-thai-filmmaker-gets-personal-on-challenging-the-thai-identity/ -- © Copyright THAILAND NOW 2022-11-14 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Thailand and Sweden Discuss Wastewater Management BANGKOK (NNT) - Thai and Swedish representatives from the public and private sectors have exchanged views on wastewater management and water crises, as well as technology and innovations for the purpose of sustainable water management. Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1277760-thailand-and-sweden-discuss-wastewater-management/

BANGKOK (NNT) - Thai and Swedish representatives from the public and private sectors have exchanged views on wastewater management and water crises, as well as technology and innovations for the purpose of sustainable water management. During the talks, Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipun noted that water is the basis of life and climate change has caused a quickening of the water cycle. Bangkok regularly experiences floods as well as problems with wastewater. As a short-term response, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has dredged sewers and canals to improve drainage. Taking a longer view, Governor Chadchart said new waterways must be created to shorten distances between sewers and the river. In the area of wastewater treatment, the BMA operates eight major treatment plants that accommodate 22 of Bangkok’s 50 districts, prioritizing the treatment of wastewater discharged from households. Treatment systems have been installed at locations where wastewater most commonly accumulates, such as large fresh markets like Khlong Toei. A seminar involving Thai and Swedish participants was held at Bangkok’s Bangsue Environmental Education and Conservation Center to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experience. Also covered were major projects and initiatives addressing water management in Thailand. Additionally, those attending the event discussed future Thai-Swedish cooperation, as well as innovations that can help ensure sustainable water management.
